My Song for Today!

Once Again lyrics

Matt Redman

Lyrics:

Jesus Christ, I think upon Your sacrifice You became nothing, poured out to death Many times I've wondered at Your gift of life And I'm in that place once again I'm in that place once again And once again I look upon the cross where You died I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside Once again I thank You Once again I pour out my life Now You are exalted to the highest place King of the heavens, where one day I'll bow But for now, I marvel at Your saving grace And I'm full of praise once again I'm full of praise once again Thank You for the cross Thank You for the cross Thank You for the cross, my Friend

Fall Fun

At a fall festival at a local ski resort

Daddy and Leia picking raspberries

Leia taking a big bite of a "just off the tree" apple.

At the pumpkin patch


Leia's first day of "school." She loved every minute of it!

It was fun to take out the "fuzzy pj's!"

Eating yummy corn from the farm near our house.

My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is one of my new favorite recipe blogs and definitely my FAVORITE ever chocolate chip cookies. It is a little extra work, but really worth it! Enjoy and happy weekend baking!

Summer Fun!

I love her "tails" in this picture!

This is Leia's " I just woke up" face.

All dressed up for Church!

Having fun in the pool in the backyard. :)

Perfect Peace by Laura Story

Laura Story - Blessings

We ache with all our brothers and sister in Christ who are hurting today. We find peace and hope in the knowledge that this world is not our home and that one day soon there will be no more tears.

Movie Star

Apparently my daughter thinks that she is a movie star. Every time I get the camera out she puts on these glasses and says, "cheese!"

Leia 20 months

Leia all dressed up and ready for church!

Leia Taking Care of her babies

Leia loves to play with her babies. She takes care of them all day long. She loves to "yap" ( wrap) them all up and give them bottles.

The Curtains I made for the Church Nursery

Our Little Duckie

Leia's Saying Names

We are thinking about and praying for our family back in Texas!

Leia's Funny Things

Leia eating her favorite, "cream treat."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Lately Leia has been saying some really funny things. We think that she is going to be quite the tease!

Me: "Leia, give mommy a kiss."
Leia: "say Please."
Me: Please
Leia:Nope!

~~~~~~~~~~~
Today Leia was hold a piece of cheese and looking in the mirror. I heard her say, " Want cheese?" (While holding the piece of cheese close to her reflection.) Then she quickly pulled it away and said, "No thanks...Leia's cheese."
~~~~~~~~~~~
On Tuesday night we were driving Craig and Grace to the airport. I told Leia, "Grandpa and Grandma are going bye, bye. They are leaving now on a big plane. Are you going to be sad when they leave?" Leia immediately starting fake baby crying, "wha, wha, wha...." She kept it up for about a minute and then said, "Yep, sad!" (We were all rolling in laughter the whole time!)

The Cold Weather is Here!

The actual temperature this morning is -26 degrees F. Yep, that's right -26! The good new however, is that it feels like exactly -26 degrees, with no wind chill. (It is always best to look on the bright side of things....) Well, I don't think that we will be going anywhere today. Caleb says that it is "not that bad," but I think I will sit this day of running around town out. :) I am very thankful for our warm, cozy house and for electricity.
